  • Missão De Avaliação E Levantamento Do Sítio Submarino Do Clipper Thermopylae
    Missão de avaliação e levantamento do sítio submarino do clipper Thermopylae JORGE FREIRE JEAN-YVES BLOT ANA VIEITES ANTÓNIO FIALHO FABIAN REICHERDT RESUMO O presente artigo diz respeito aos vestígios submarinos do grande veleiro comercial Ther- mopylae, construído na Escócia em 1868 e afundado em manobras navais ao largo de Cascais em 1907, já sob a forma do pontão Pedro Nunes. Reduzidos ao estatuto de pesqueiro anónimo frequentado pelos pescadores locais, os vestígios submersos foram formalmente identifica- dos quase um século após o afundamento e pouco depois integrados no tecido patrimonial da região. Uma missão da Câmara Municipal de Cascais realizada no decurso do Verão de 2009 pôs em destaque os parâmetros técnicos, físicos e culturais associados a este naufrágio que se cruza com a história da oceanografia e da gestão das pescarias em Portugal. Este par- ticularismo do arqueosítio de hoje conduz a uma abordagem transdisciplinar na qual a arqueologia dos destroços físicos do navio de 1868 se molda no espaço identitário, físico e cultural, da região estuarina. ABSTRACT The former British clipper Thermopylae built in Aberdeen in 1868 was later renamed Pedro Nunes and sunk in 1907 during a naval exercise off Cascais, Portugal, in the vicinity of the Tagus river estuary. Known to local fishermen, the wreck remains were for- mally identified almost one century after the sinking and soon integrated within the network of local heritage accessible to the (diving) public. A recent mission promoted by Cascais municipality did enhance the technical, physical and cultural parameters attached to the shipwreck remains which appear to be at the core of the history of oceanography and fishery management in Portugal, fusing in the process a transdisciplinary approach in which the archaeology of the physical remains fits into the physical and cultural identity of this estua- rine region.

    ARTICLE INTERNATIONAL PROTECTION OF EARTH’S OCEANS Joseph C. Sweeney* The ocean is the central issue of our time: both urgent and eternal. The oceans are gravely under threat from fishing methods, pollution and climate change caused by us. Through them it is now ourselves that are threatened and endangered. The tools to protect the oceans include knowledge, understanding and science. No healthy oceans, no healthy life on this planet.

August 4th. This morning the U.S. Consulate was found to be minus its national coat-of-arms over the gate-way. This seemed to ruffle the worthy Consul very considerably. He at once issued a notice offering a reward for information leading to the apprehension and conviction of the thief who had been tampering with Uncle Sam's fowl-yard. But all to no purpose,—for what really became of that American Eagle remains a mystery even unto this day. On August 6th the English fleet under Admiral Kupper steamed out of the bay in line. It was said to be bound for Kagoshima, Satsuma's Capital, to exact reparation from that Daimio for the outrage committed by his men at Namamugi on the Tokaido in September, 1862. August 8th. The foreign representatives were notified by the Shogun's Government that Ogasawara, Dzosho-no-kami had been released from his membership of the Gorojiu.
